Frequently asked questions
- What are the character limits for major social platforms?
- Common limits are 280 for X posts, 3,000 for LinkedIn posts, 2,200 for Instagram captions, 2,200 for TikTok captions, and 5,000 for YouTube descriptions. Limits change occasionally so the counter reflects current values.
- Why do emoji eat through the character budget so fast?
- Many emoji are encoded as surrogate pairs or sequences of multiple codepoints, so a single visible emoji counts as two or more characters. Compound emoji with skin tones or ZWJ joins are even longer.
- Are hashtags and mentions counted differently?
- On most platforms hashtags and @mentions count toward the same character limit as regular text. Only links are sometimes shortened to a fixed length, depending on the platform.
